Hi everyone,

I also have a question today....

I'm looking at getting these Hella Optilux driving/fog lights. Got a $50 gift certificate for xmas.

Does anyone have something similar to this? Is the installation very involved? I'm not sure how to wire the switch up to the front panel....and also where the best place on bumper to place these puppies. Thanks

Haven't seen those lights before - they look pretty sweet. I don't have a 3G, so I'm not much help. Maybe in bottom opening of the valence?

Just wanted to welcome you to the forum. You'll like it here!

 

Hi,

hehe sorry couldn't resist, I love Spaceballs

Anyway I'm not quite sure where you should mount the lights, I like Cebby's idea.

I just wanted to welcome you to the best Toyota Forum (or any forum for that matter) around Enjoy your stay, and say goodbye to your wallet

Welcome to the forum Mog.
I'm sure with the collective heads here, you'll get an idea of how to mount those pups.

Hey, ditch the switch that came with those.
See my link here on how to use the Toyota factory switch for a clean installation.

Only three wires for the switch, and it should work with any set of lights.

Mog welcome to the forum!! I just installed some Hella Optilux 1250 Fog Lights. They look very similiar to what you are looking at there. Check out this thread for some more info.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. BTW my nick Mog is actually from the RPG game Final Fantasy. The little white moogle if any of you ever played that game. But I never knew it was the name of that man dog from Spaceball I'm about to order the fog lights. It's actually a dual driving/fog lighting system that I'm getting. I drive alot of freeway so I really want to be able to see farther. Thanks for all the help...I'll be needing some more when i get the part!

hahahha love that movie, welcome to the board

 

Hey welcome to the board, it's great to have another 2WD, sorry it's some kind of weird thing I have to not be the only suffering from "4WD Envy".


You got a sweet Runner there man, and I love those lights you were looking at, I have wanted to get those things for awhile now. I think I will get them very soon along with some new floor mats. Let me know how the install goes, maybe you can help me out after your done and I run into some issues.

Welcome once again, make yourself at home and stick around for awhile.

 

Hey Mog, I remember those accident pics from outdoorwire.com.
